MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork), a network characterized that its moving nodes freely constructs Network topology, has other different characteristics. Because Policy based Network Management in MANET guarantees QoS between nodes, it is essential in applied areas like VANET which targets safety and convenience. In this paper, we use COPS-PR which is appropriate Policy Exchange Protocol for MANET, and implement DiffServ-based QoS in the real networks and experiment its capability.

XML is being used to describe components and applications in a vendor and language neutral. Therefore it already has a role in distributed system. XML is also being used as a data interchange format between components and applications in loosely coupled large-scale application. Until now, policy is described for specific applications and devices. Its use has been very limited. In current network management system, we can only invoke predefined operations and actions using policy-based network management. The main motivation for the recent interests in policy-based networks is to support dynamic adaptability of behavior by changing policy without recoding or stopping system. For these reasons we present the use of the XML for describing the policy and PIB(Policy Information Base) in COPS-PR. It improves flexibility and interoperability among heterogeneous network systems. It also can add new functionality into network components. In this paper, we propose a dynamically extensible network management architecture using XML-based PIB.

This paper presents an approach to support dynamic QoS(Quality of Service) requirements of largely emerging SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) multimedia applications in broadband access networks. The topology of QoS-enabled broadband access networks and its operational model to support SIP QoS are firstly suggested. And then the procedures to bind QoS-enabled SIP signaling into an IP QoS mechanism are presented. In this paper, DiffServ-based IP QoS architecture is deployed due to the complexity problem of the other IntServ architecture, and COPS(Common Open Policy Service) and COPS-PR protocol based signaling mechanisms are used to support dynamic DiffServ QoS, correspondent with dynamic SIP QoS. The broadband access network is assumed to support rapidly expanding Metro Ethernet 802.1 D/Q QoS, and how to translate SIP QoS parameters into IP DiffServ classes and DiffServ classes into 802.1 D/Q QoS parameters is also presented in this paper.

Policy-based Network Management(PBNM) in the Mobile Ad-hoc network(MANETs) requires additional, reliable and efficient mechanism over PBNM in wired network. Thus, it is important that the management system in MANETs should cluster the moving nodes and manage their movements in an effective manner. In this thesis, I propose a mechanism for the policy-based management in ad hoc networks in which I consider several methods to discover the Policy Decision Point(PDP), set the management area, and manage the movements of Policy Enforcement Point(PEP) nodes in the PBNM system. Moreover, COPS-PR is extended for the mechanism. Finally, I analyze and validate the results through simulations.

In this paper, we developmed and implemented router and bandwidth broker that provides end-to-end QoS in differentiated service IP networks. Our design goal is to provide end-to-end premium service using the EF PHB. The bandwidth broker and router were implemented in the FreeBSD 4.6 platform. For the DiffServ router, we implemented QoS daemon, rollback managment routine, monitoring, and COPS-PR client. Also, Ive implemented bandwith broker which has SLS and resource management function, and signaling protocols for interfacing intra-and inter-domain. On the testbed, we have validated and evaluated the performance of the implemented DiffServ router and bandwidth broker using the inter-domain signaling protocol client in MS Windows platform. The test results show that the end-to-end QoS can be guaranteed for the inter-domain diffServ by the implemented system.

The PBNM on MANET is being researched to ensure the reliability and efficiency between mobile nodes. Therefore, it is essential to determine the cluster effectively which will perceive the movements of nodes and distribute the policies. In PBNM mechanism, to determine the node cluster for PDP and manage PEP nodes, Active PDP Discovery Protocol is proposed as a mechanism which is more efficient than preexistent techniques. While k-hop cluster selects the PEP nodes which PDP node manages, Active PDP Discovery actively selects the PDP node among the moving PEP node. This method prevents orphan nodes that are not connected to PDP and reduces continual broadcasting messages. This paper implements Active PDP Discovery which determines cluster in the real networks and analyzes its capability, expanding COPS-PR to detect the movement of nodes and adding MNL to PDP node.

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANET), a Vehicle-to-Infrastucture or Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication technology, is an area that makes more specific use of Mobile Adhoc Networks(MANET). VANET's Quality of Service(QoS) focuses on preventing possible emergencies like car crash from happening by immediately transmitting information to the cars around, while MANET's QoS is being studied for the quality of multimedia data such as Video on Demand(VoD), Video streaming, Voice over IP(VoIP), etc. In this paper, I structure the actual network configuration using Link State Routing(LSR), implement QoS Provisioning Model using Common Open Policy Service(COPS), and suggest more effective k-hop Cluster and inter-domain policy negotiation which fit better to the characteristics of VANET.

In this paper we design and implement a sensor network management framework(SNMF) for ubiquitous sensor networks(USNs). The SNMF employs the policy-based management approach for the autonomous and energy-efficient management of USNs. Moreover, a new light-weight policy distribution protocol called TinyCOPS-PR is designed and USN PIB for low-level policy is also defined. This allows the high-level policies defined by an administrator to translate into the specific low-level policies. The low-level policies are executed on sensor nodes so it can fulfill the proper management actions. The sensor nodes that receive some policies from an administrator perform local management actions according to those policies. SNMF can therefore realize small energy consumption and bring long network lifetime. It can also manage USNs automatically with a minimum of human interference.

MANET은 노드가 이동성을 가지고 있으며, 네트워크 위상을 자율적으로 결정하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 정책기반 망 관리 시스템을 MANET에 도입하기 위한 연구는 이러한 네트워크 특성을 고려하여 신뢰성과 효율성을 확보하기 위해 이루어지고 있다. 또한, 정책기반 망 관리 시스템은 유선 네트워크를 기반으로 제안되어 있으므로 이를 MANET에 도입하기 위해서는 여러 가지 수정이 필요한 부분이 있다. 정책 기반 망 관리 시스템은 SNMP의 MIB나 LDAP를 이용하는 정책 저장소와 노드의 상태를 수신하여 정책을 배포하는 정책결정자, 그리고 정책을 수신하여 수행하는 정책 수행자 노드가 있다. 본 논문에서는 MANET 라우팅을 이용하고 표준 정책 기반 망 관리 시스템에서 정책 결정자와 정책수행자 사이의 프로토콜로 제안된 COPS-PR을 MANET에 특성에 맞게 수정한 능동적 PDP 탐색 메커니즘을 이용한 테스트베드를 설계하고 구현한다.
